When MTV's "16 and Pregnant" kicks off its fourth season at 10 p.m. March 27, one of the 12 featured girls will be Alexandria Sekella of Neffs, MTV has confirmed.

Sekella, a student at Parkland High School and a dancer for East Coast Dance Connection in Whitehall, will have her story profiled in an April episode according to a MTV spokesperson.

Sekella whose daughter Arabela was born July 18, 2011, plans to attend Lehigh County Community College in the fall.

It's the second time, a local girl has been featured on the controversial reality show.

Nazareth's Kailyn Lowry appeared on the second season of "16 and Pregnant" in 2010 when she was pregnant and a senior at Nazareth High School. She later was featured on MTV's "Teen Mom 2" after son Isaac was born.

The series gives an intimate look inside the lives of teens as they face unexpected pregnancies and become parents at a young age. In the new season, viewers will watch these young moms face the dramatic ups and downs of being a teen parent. In one story, a pregnant teen will determine if adoption is the right choice for her, because she fears her boyfriend will continue to be unreliable. Another young woman will cope with her decision to keep her baby while her sister deals with the fact that she chose not to continue her pregnancy. Viewers will also meet a girl whose dream of going to college is suddenly halted after she becomes a teen mom, and another young woman who fights to raise her baby while dealing with a drug addicted parent and another young girl struggles with her mother’s disapproval of her relationship with her baby’s father.

According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, more than 700,000 teenage girls in the U.S. become pregnant each year and one out of every ten children in the U.S. is born to a teenage mother. The vast majority of these pregnancies are unintended. “16 and Pregnant” has been cited by experts as having an impact on the recent decline of teen birth rate, and a study in 2010 by the National Campaign found that 82% of teens who have watched the series think the show helps teens better understand the challenges of teen pregnancy and parenthood and how to avoid it.

This season of “16 and Pregnant” will also air internationally on MTV channels around the world starting in the summer. Watch a preview of the season below.
